José Mourinho frustrated by uncertainty over Benfica future amid Rui Costa silence | OneFootball

José Mourinho is understood to be unsettled by ongoing uncertainty around his Benfica future, with speculation linking him to clubs in Spain, England and Italy.

Record reports that the head coach is irritated by Rui Costa’s reluctance to give a clear assurance over next season, with the Benfica president repeatedly swerving the topic as something not worth addressing.

For now, Mourinho has firm reference points, he is under contract until 2027 and remains committed to winning the league with Benfica. While any renewal is considered off limits, Rui Costa has on several occasions indicated that Mourinho’s continuity is not in doubt.

Even the derby victory over Sporting has not prompted the president to accelerate talks over a new deal. The perceived lack of a firm stance has left Mourinho somewhat uncomfortable with the situation.

However, speaking before the match against Moreirense, Mourinho said there is no issue with Rui Costa. He added that both sides are in regular contact and are already planning the next campaign.
